Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - New Milford, PA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in New Milford provides medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. 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 a person 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 rehabilitation center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
