Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Emmaus, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Emmaus offers medical detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type 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 type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
