Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Ariton, AL.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ariton offers medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling 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 rehabilitation program to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
