Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Kemblesville, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Kemblesville offers medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may 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 substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
