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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Belle Vernon provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what 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, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation program to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
