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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Farrell provides medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history 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 center to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
