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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wood provides medically supervised detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
