Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Opp, AL.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Opp provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain 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 receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
