Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Macon, GA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Macon offers medically supervised detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription 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 remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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