Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Start, LA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Start provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
