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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Sligo offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
