Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Geraldine, AL.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you might choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Geraldine provides medical detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 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 substance abuse issues 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 work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
