Choosing New Orleans Detox Centers that are Right for You or a Loved One
On January 23, 2017, the Louisiana Department of Health removed the needs for a prescription in order to get Naloxone, which helps save people experiencing an opioid overdose. The opioid epidemic has hit the New Orleans community so hard that this level of availability is critical to saving lives.
Without help from rehabs and detox centers in New Orleans, people who abuse drugs and alcohol are risking their very lives. In the first three months of 2017, there were 46 drug-related deaths in Jefferson Parish, according to the coroner.
To achieve the most successful treatment outcomes, detox center services and interventions, as well as their setting, need to match your issues and needs. The first decision you will need to make is between inpatient and outpatient detoxification programs.
Inpatient New Orleans drug detox and alcohol detox demand patients live on the premises for the entire duration of their treatment, which is why it is also called residential detoxification. Because of this, it’s the more intensive options. For patients with co-occurring disorders or risky withdrawal, hospital based inpatient treatment may be needed.
Outpatient New Orleans alcohol detox and drug detox make no demands on where a patient lives. They simply require attendance at scheduled treatment sessions; these may be daily. Some outpatient detox uses medication, such as methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone. These are used in conjunction with counseling.
