Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in New Cumberland provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.
For someone who has been struggling 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 rehab center to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
