Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Bayou La Batre, AL.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bayou La Batre offers medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease 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 symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
