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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hawthorne provides medical detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling 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 and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
