Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Hollsopple, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you might choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hollsopple provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
