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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Export offers medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

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