Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Sarasota, FL.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Sarasota offers medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay 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 withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
