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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in New Philadelphia offers medically managed detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
