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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Dickinson offers medically managed detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
