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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Orrstown offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
