Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Elba, AL.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Elba provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from 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 may decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People 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 type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
