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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Kent provides medical detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
