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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bogalusa provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall 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 detoxification facility to a drug treatment facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
