Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Coplay, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Coplay offers medical detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
