Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - St. Thomas, PA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in St. Thomas offers medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
