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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hanover provides medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history 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 and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
