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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Good Hope offers medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing 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 and/or alcohol rehab program to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
