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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Weatherly provides medical detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
