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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Friedens offers medical detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person 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 detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
