Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Gaines, 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 several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Gaines offers medically managed detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing 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 treatment program to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
