Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Ashland, AL.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ashland provides medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation center to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
