Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Wewahitchka, FL.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wewahitchka offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation program to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
