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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Cottonton offers medically managed detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone 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 detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
