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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bear Creek offers medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised 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 detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
