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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Glen Hope offers medically managed detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
