Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Gibson, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Gibson provides medical detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
