Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Hollywood, AL.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hollywood provides medical detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
