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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Brewton provides medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
