Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Kimberton, PA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Kimberton provides medical detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual 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 and/or alcohol recovery facility to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
