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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lithia offers medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
