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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you can decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in South Bay provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery facility to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
