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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lemoyne provides medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (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 type of substance they are withdrawing 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 detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
