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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Putney provides medical detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone 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 and/or alcohol rehab center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
