Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Chestnut Mountain, GA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Chestnut Mountain offers medical detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could 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 an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment program to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
