Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Wilkinsburg, PA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wilkinsburg provides medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
