Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Cardiff, AL.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Cardiff provides medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
