Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Ellwood City, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you can decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ellwood City provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing 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 easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
