Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Loretto, PA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Loretto offers medical detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
