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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Satsuma provides medical detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling 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 recovery program to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
