Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Kleinfeltersville, PA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Kleinfeltersville offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person 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 rehab program to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
