Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Cinnaminson, NJ.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Cinnaminson provides medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
