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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Gordon offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
