Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Durham, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Durham offers medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

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