Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Force, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Force provides medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery program to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
