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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Kennesaw offers medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually 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 may 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 drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation center to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
