Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Anita, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Anita offers medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person 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 and/or alcohol treatment program to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
