Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Slocomb, AL.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you might choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Slocomb offers medical detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may 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 substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
