Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Tarentum, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Tarentum offers medical detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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