Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Kersey, PA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Kersey provides medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain 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 receive medically supervised detoxification 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. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days 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 an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
