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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Leslie provides medically managed detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may 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 someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
