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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Cheyney offers medically supervised detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual 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 going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery facility to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
