Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Clinton, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Clinton offers medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance 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 and/or alcohol rehab center to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
