Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Osterburg, PA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Osterburg provides medically managed detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
