Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Liverpool, PA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Liverpool provides medically managed detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
