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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fombell offers medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised 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. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery program to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
