Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Douglas, AL.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Douglas offers medically managed detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain 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 detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation program to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
