Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Nicholls, GA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Nicholls offers medical detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose 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. Individuals 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 substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone 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 recovery program to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
