Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Hockessin, DE.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hockessin provides medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual 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 detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
