Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Wynnewood, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wynnewood offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
