Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Imler, PA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Imler offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
