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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Rossville offers medical detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing 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 smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
