Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Boalsburg, PA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you might choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Boalsburg provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment program to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
