Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Orefield, 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 Orefield offers medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
