Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Hartstown, PA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hartstown provides medically managed detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
