Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Pine Grove, LA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pine Grove offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may 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 a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
