Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Witmer, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Witmer provides medically managed detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing 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 detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
