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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Margaret provides medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may 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, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab program to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
