Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Port Wentworth, GA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Port Wentworth offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
