Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Marrero, LA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Marrero offers medical detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing 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 smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery facility to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
