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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mammoth provides medically supervised detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical 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 detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
