Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Walker, LA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Walker offers medical detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery facility to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
