Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Plattenville, LA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Plattenville provides medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised 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. 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 drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual 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 detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
