Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Wilcox, PA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wilcox offers medical detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall 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 treatment program to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
