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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in St. Marks offers medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
