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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pocono Pines provides medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
