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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Chiefland offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone 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 detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
