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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Clifton Heights offers medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation program to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
