Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Lowber, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lowber provides medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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