Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Mehoopany, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mehoopany provides medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
