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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Kent provides medical detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab program to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
