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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Plainfield provides medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
