Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Port Allen, LA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Port Allen provides medical detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment program to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
