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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you could choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Elkton provides medical detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person 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 detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
