Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Elton, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Elton offers medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. 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 drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment center to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
