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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in New Iberia offers medical detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery facility to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
