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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wampum offers medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. 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, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
