Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Etters, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Etters provides medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
