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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mary Esther offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay 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 someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
