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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Dupont provides medical detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history 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 treatment center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
