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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Muir provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

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