Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Bristol, FL.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bristol provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in 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) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
