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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Dunedin provides medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery program to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
