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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Newtown provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain 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 withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling 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 and/or alcohol rehab center to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
