Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Freeport, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Freeport offers medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
