Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Centreville, AL.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Centreville offers medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
