How Long is Alabama Alcohol Detox?

If you’re wondering how long it’s going to take for you to detox from alcohol, we can’t provide you with an exact figure. This is because the actual amount of time that it takes to detox can vary. For alcohol, detox times generally are:

  • 5-7 days of hard withdrawal during which around the clock monitoring is necessary for patient safety.
  • 10-20 days of mild withdrawal during which cravings can spike but most physical symptoms begin to dissipate.
  • Longer term withdrawal for those who have been addicted to alcohol for more than a few years. This can include Delirium Tremens, a condition in which grave danger arises when an addict attempts to quit drinking.

Alabama detox centers can help you through the entire detox process. It’s extremely easy to keep doing what you’re doing, drinking each day and allowing life to slip away—but making this call for help takes courage. Just call 800-996-6135(Who Answers?) and get the help you need today.

Inpatient vs. Outpatient Detox Centers in AL

Determining what level of care is best for you is as simple as thinking closely about your addiction—do you struggle with symptoms of withdrawal when you try to quit? Do you feel sick, unable to say “no” to your drug of choice, or otherwise as if you can’t abstain from the substance despite your best efforts?

If you answered “YES” to the above questions, you should consider inpatient detox. This care is ideal for anyone with underlying health problems, those who are heavily addicted, and those who are addicted to prescription drugs, alcohol, opioids, methamphetamine and cocaine.

Unless you have a very strong support network already at home—inpatient detox is your best first choice in care.
