Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Dresher, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Dresher offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
