Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Columbia, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Columbia provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
