Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Waverly Hall, GA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Waverly Hall provides medically managed detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox 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 withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction 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 handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
