Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Schenley, PA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Schenley offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery program to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
