Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Scottdale, PA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you could decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Scottdale provides medically supervised detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay 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 an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
