Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Herman, PA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Herman provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could 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 someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
