Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - York, AL.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in York provides medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification 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 an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
