Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Stockton, AL.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Stockton provides medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification 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 type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
