Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Hatchechubbee, AL.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hatchechubbee provides medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation program to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
