Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Mer Rouge, LA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mer Rouge offers medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious 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 used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
