Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Helen, MD.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Helen offers medically managed detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised 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. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
