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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pitman offers medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
