Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Jeanerette, LA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Jeanerette offers medical detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
