Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Oxford, FL.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you could decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Oxford provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what 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 an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
