Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Slagle, LA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Slagle provides medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
