Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Monocacy Station, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Monocacy Station offers medically managed detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction 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 facility to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
