Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Ruby, LA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ruby offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
