Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - East Palatka, FL.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in East Palatka offers medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person 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 recovery center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
