Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Theriot, LA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Theriot offers medically managed detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
