Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Norwood, PA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Norwood offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox 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 detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
