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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hodges offers medical detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling 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 rehab facility to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
