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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Sycamore provides medically supervised detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay 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 detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history 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 rehab facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
