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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Swainsboro offers medical detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history 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 facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
