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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Unionville provides medical detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
