Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Zullinger, PA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Zullinger provides medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth 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 actual rehabilitation in itself.
