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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Coushatta offers medical detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
