Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Forest City, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Forest City provides medically supervised detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
