Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Fultondale, AL.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fultondale offers medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used 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 symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance 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 detox facility to a drug recovery center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
