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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lowell offers medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab center to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
