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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you might make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ingomar provides medically managed detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation program to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
