Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Elrama, PA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Elrama provides medical detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone 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 treatment facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
