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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Shade Gap provides medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing 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 discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
