Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Winston, GA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Winston offers medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days 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 substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
