Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Cooperstown, PA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Cooperstown provides medical detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling 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 treatment program to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
