Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Riviera Beach, FL.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Riviera Beach offers medical detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease 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 during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
