Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - The Villages, FL.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in The Villages offers medical detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation center to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
