Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Northern Cambria, PA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Northern Cambria offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal 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 been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
