Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Sumiton, AL.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Sumiton provides medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
