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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Homestead provides medical detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (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 could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing 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 and/or alcohol rehab facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
