Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Ulysses, PA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ulysses offers medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People 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 drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
