Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Railroad, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Railroad offers medically supervised detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug 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, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
