Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Ravine, PA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ravine provides medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation program to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
