Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Clarksville, PA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Clarksville provides medical detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
