Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Cleveland, AL.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Cleveland offers medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing 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 detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
