Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Thorndale, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Thorndale provides medical detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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