Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Arcadia, LA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Arcadia provides medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
