Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Kutztown, PA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Kutztown provides medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab facility to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
