Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Foley, AL.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Foley offers medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where 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 remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment program to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
