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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Paxtonville provides medical detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification 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 physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
