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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pottersdale offers medically managed detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance 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 a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
