Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Lemasters, PA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lemasters provides medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. 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 a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
