Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Wendel, PA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wendel provides medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

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