Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Fort Myers Beach, FL.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fort Myers Beach provides medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone 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 and/or alcohol rehab center to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
