Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Berrysburg, PA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you could decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Berrysburg provides medical detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing 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 a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
