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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Donegal provides medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual 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 rehab center to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
