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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Clearwater provides medical detox, which is carried out with the help 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 may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
