Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Powder Springs, GA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Powder Springs offers medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person 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 facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
