Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - North Metro, GA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you might make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in North Metro provides medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
