Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Lighthouse Point, FL.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lighthouse Point offers medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. 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 a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
