Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Skippack, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Skippack provides medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 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, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
