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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mainesburg offers medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox 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 physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
