Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Ball, LA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ball offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues 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 program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
