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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Dundee offers medical detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
