Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Clarence, LA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Clarence provides medically managed detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery center to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
