Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Herrick Center, PA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Herrick Center provides medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
