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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wellington offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered 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 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, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
