Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Matamoras, PA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Matamoras provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing 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 an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation program to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
