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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Swiftwater offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery center to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
