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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you might make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Huntingdon provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab program to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
