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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Saginaw provides medical detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery center to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
