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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Marcus Hook offers medically managed detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person 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 rehabilitation program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
