Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Lee, FL.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lee provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days 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, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
