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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Prospect provides medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing 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 a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
