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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you could decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Unity House provides medical detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
