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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Monroe offers medical detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
