Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Millsboro, PA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Millsboro offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay 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 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 smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
