Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Panama City, FL.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Panama City provides medically managed detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
