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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Booth provides medical detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
