Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Altamonte Springs, FL.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Altamonte Springs offers medical detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically 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 5 days 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 a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
