Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - St. Gabriel, LA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you might choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in St. Gabriel provides medical detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
