Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Mertztown, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you might make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mertztown offers medical detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual 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 recovery facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
