Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Wheatland, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wheatland provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detoxification 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. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
