Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Brandon, FL.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Brandon provides medical detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling 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 recovery program to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
