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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Watson offers medical detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification 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 physical and mental 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 and/or alcohol rehab program to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
