Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Wilburton, PA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wilburton offers medical detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history 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 treatment center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
