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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Perdue Hill provides medically supervised detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may 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, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
