Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Attalla, AL.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Attalla provides medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
