Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Maurepas, LA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Maurepas offers medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. 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 a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
