Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Highspire, PA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Highspire provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing 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 treatment facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
