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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Woodstock offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 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, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
