Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Pennellville, NY.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pennellville provides medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall 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 treatment facility to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
