Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Eagles Mere, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Eagles Mere offers medical detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment program to handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
