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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Buhl offers medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain 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 detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
