Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Essington, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Essington offers medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised 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 detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab program to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
