Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Live Oak, FL.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Live Oak provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone 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 rehab center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
