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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Elmer provides medical detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
