Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Bonita, LA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bonita offers medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing 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 easy 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 treatment in itself.
