Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Bienville, LA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bienville offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
