Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Piedmont, AL.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Piedmont offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where 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 diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
