Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - South Park, PA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in South Park offers medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab program to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
