Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Dolomite, AL.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Dolomite provides medical detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
