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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Newark provides medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could 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 a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab center to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
