Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Dauphin, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Dauphin provides medical detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery center to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
