Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Mather, PA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mather offers medically managed detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling 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 treatment center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
