Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - St. Marys, PA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in St. Marys offers medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of 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 an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation program to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
