Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Wilmer, AL.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wilmer offers medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could 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 a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate 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.
