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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Elgin provides medically managed detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug 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 an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment center to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
