Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Glen St. Mary, FL.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Glen St. Mary offers medical detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
