Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Empire, AL.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Empire offers medical detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. 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 someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab facility to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
