Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Gray, PA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Gray provides medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People 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 withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone 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 detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
