Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - West Middlesex, PA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in West Middlesex provides medically managed detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
