Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Jermyn, PA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Jermyn provides medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. 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 drug and alcohol addiction 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 center to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
