Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Plantation, FL.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Plantation provides medical detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients 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 substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual 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 center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
