Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - York New Salem, PA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in York New Salem offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
