Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Hokes Bluff, AL.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hokes Bluff provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically 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 could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone 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 rehabilitation program to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
