Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Tuskegee Institute, AL.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Tuskegee Institute offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
