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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Placida provides medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall 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 and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
