Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Orchard Hill, GA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Orchard Hill offers medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually 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 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what 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 smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
