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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Zelienople provides medical detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification 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 drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
