Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Birmingham, AL.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Birmingham provides medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth 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 rehabilitation in itself.
