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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Port Royal offers medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery program to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
