Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Crowley, LA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Crowley provides medical detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive 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. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
