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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Somerville provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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