Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Lacombe, LA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you might make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lacombe provides medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history 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 and/or alcohol treatment facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
