Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Ralph, AL.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ralph provides medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
