Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Locust Gap, PA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Locust Gap offers medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
