Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Bishop, GA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bishop offers medical detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing 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 rehab program to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
