Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Vintondale, PA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Vintondale offers medically managed detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person 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 detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
