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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you might choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ozark provides medically managed detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. 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 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 and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
