Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Spraggs, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Spraggs offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
