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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Liberty offers medical detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
