Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Hineston, LA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hineston offers medically managed detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
