Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Pine Prairie, LA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pine Prairie provides medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease 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 withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
