Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Sewickley, PA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Sewickley offers medical detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
