Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Ashfield, PA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ashfield provides medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. 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 a person who has a history 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 treatment center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
