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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Thompson provides medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
