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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Maylene offers medically managed detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms 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 an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
