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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in La Jose offers medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history 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 rehabilitation center to handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
