Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Indian Rocks Beach, FL.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Indian Rocks Beach offers medical detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
