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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in East Brewton provides medical detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
