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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lakeland offers medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
