Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Duncannon, PA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Duncannon offers medically managed detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need certain 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 choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
