Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Renfrew, PA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Renfrew provides medical detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 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 substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
