Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Broad Top, PA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Broad Top provides medical detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days 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 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 and/or alcohol treatment program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
