Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Shannon, GA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Shannon offers medically managed detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery program to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
