Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Henagar, AL.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Henagar offers medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone 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 detoxification facility to a drug recovery program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
