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

Detoxification is the first step 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 Wellersburg offers medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help 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 symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
