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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wind Ridge provides medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox 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, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
