Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Blountstown, FL.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Blountstown offers medically managed detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what 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, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
