Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Angelus Oaks, CA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Angelus Oaks provides medical detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
