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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Prompton offers medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

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