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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Alva offers medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox 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 an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
