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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you might decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Horton offers medical detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
