Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Social Circle, GA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Social Circle provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance 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 an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
