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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Apollo provides medical detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

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