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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Shellman provides medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
