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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Linden offers medical detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment facility to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
