Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Glen Mills, PA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Glen Mills offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular 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 medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
