Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Melbourne Beach, FL.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Melbourne Beach provides medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical 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. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual 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 recovery program to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
