Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Wayne, NJ.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you might choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wayne offers medical detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
