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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lower Burrell offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could 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, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
