Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Millport, AL.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Millport offers medical detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (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 gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab program to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
