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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Rutledge offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
