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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lincoln offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. 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 drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment center to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
