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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Meadow Lands offers medically managed detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised 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 gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental 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 detoxification facility to a drug rehab center to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
