Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Bristol, GA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you might choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bristol offers medically managed detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with 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 miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients 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 substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery center to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
