Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - New London, PA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you could decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in New London provides medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation program to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
