Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Brundidge, AL.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Brundidge offers medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug 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 a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
