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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Charleroi offers medically managed detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab program to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
