Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Rayne, LA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Rayne provides medical detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
