Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Hamilton, PA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hamilton offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days 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 a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
