Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Kantner, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Kantner offers medical detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling 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 rehab center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
