Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - West Palm Beach, FL.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in West Palm Beach provides medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular 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 might choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients 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 physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
