Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Ashburn, GA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ashburn provides medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab center to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
