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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Crescent offers medically managed detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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