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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Springfield offers medical detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
