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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in New Castle offers medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 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 drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab program to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
