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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Walnut Bottom provides medical detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People 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 type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history 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 rehab facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
