Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Branch, LA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Branch provides medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental 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 detox facility to a drug treatment center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
