Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Nanticoke, PA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Nanticoke provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form 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 an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery program to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
