Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Spinnerstown, PA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Spinnerstown offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
