Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Taylorstown, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Taylorstown offers medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history 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 rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
