Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Parkesburg, PA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Parkesburg offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may 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 a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
