Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Lake Placid, FL.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lake Placid offers medical detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
