Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Trafford, PA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Trafford provides medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone 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 rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
