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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Gallant offers medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug 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 detox facility to a drug rehabilitation center to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
