Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Cook Springs, AL.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Cook Springs offers medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing 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 smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
