Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Pulaski, GA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pulaski provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
