Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Skytop, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Skytop provides medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically 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 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
