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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Jessup offers medically managed detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal 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 health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab center to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
