Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Avery Island, LA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you can decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Avery Island provides medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment center to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
