Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Peterson, AL.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Peterson provides medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo 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. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
