Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Millerton, PA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Millerton offers medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide 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. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days 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, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
