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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Elmore provides medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
