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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Headland provides medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox 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 substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
