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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Franklin provides medically managed detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized 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 diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history 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 rehabilitation program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
