Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Phillipsburg, NJ.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Phillipsburg offers medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab center to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
