About UF Health Psychiatric Hospital

UF Health Psychiatric Hospital in Gainesville, Florida, offers thorough drug and alcohol withdrawal treatment. They have an adult inpatient addiction unit that targets immediate problems that require inpatient care. Their treatment strategy is usually short term and is centered on stabilization. Their main objective is to assist you in functioning safely and with less distress as you leave the hospital.

Addiction medicine and psychiatry doctors work together with highly skilled nursing staff to provide your detox in a secure medically monitored environment. Pharmacological interventions are used during this critical detoxification phase to lessen withdrawal symptoms following substance cessation.

The use of medications is essential to your recuperation. They offer methadone that can alleviate withdrawal symptoms and can be used as a long term maintenance option for opioid dependence. Similar to this, buprenorphine can speed up the detoxification process and can be used for long term care. To help prevent abuse, it is frequently combined with naloxone in drugs like Zubsolv, Bunavail or Suboxone.

Clonidine does not address cravings but it may reduce agitation, anxiety and muscle aches during withdrawal. Staff also manage sleep disturbances, diarrhea and vomiting with the help of additional medications. Naltrexone is another option that helps prevent relapse. However this must be used carefully because it can cause severe withdrawal if opioids are still present in your system.

Long term treatment is frequently required after detox and can involve ongoing inpatient care, outpatient counseling, intensive outpatient treatment or self help groups. It is critical to be evaluated for depression or other mental health conditions when detoxing from opiates because addressing these conditions can greatly lower the risk of relapse. A thorough approach to your dual diagnosis needs may involve the prescription of antidepressant medication as needed.
