Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Mathews, AL.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mathews provides medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing 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 a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
