Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Pocopson, PA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pocopson provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
