Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Riverside, AL.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Riverside offers medical detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might 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 detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
