Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Cape Canaveral, FL.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Cape Canaveral offers medically managed detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. 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 drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
