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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Coal Center offers medical detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically 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 may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
