Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Ambridge, PA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ambridge provides medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery program to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
