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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Leeper offers medically supervised detox, which is administered 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. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab facility to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
