Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Needham, AL.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Needham provides medical detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
