Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Mattawana, PA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mattawana offers medical detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person 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 detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
