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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Valdosta offers medical detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery center to handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
