Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Galliano, LA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Galliano offers medically managed detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People 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 type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
