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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Nottingham offers medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
