Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Brent, AL.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you can decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Brent offers medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history 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 rehabilitation program to handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
