Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Lambertville, NJ.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lambertville offers medical detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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