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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Columbiana offers medically managed detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized 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 symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
