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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lamar offers medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
