Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Leesburg, GA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Leesburg provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients 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 substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
