Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Jacksonville offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
