Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Haverford, PA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you may decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Haverford provides medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may 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 an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
