Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Red Lion, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Red Lion provides medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used 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 symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
