Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - St. Augustine Beach, FL.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in St. Augustine Beach provides medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. 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 a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
