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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Strausstown offers medical detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
