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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Moundville offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox 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 drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment center to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
