Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Jackson, AL.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Jackson offers medical detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance 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 easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
