Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Gloucester City, NJ.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Gloucester City offers medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing 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 smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
