Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Pointe A La Hache, LA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pointe A La Hache provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing 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 smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
