Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Wattsville, AL.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wattsville provides medical detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms 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 a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
