Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Fairhope, AL.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fairhope offers medical detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing 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 easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
