Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Mount Braddock, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mount Braddock provides medical detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
