Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Aaronsburg, PA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Aaronsburg provides medical detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
