Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Olyphant, PA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Olyphant offers medically managed detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
