Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Captiva, FL.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Captiva offers medical detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
