Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Freedom, CA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you might choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Freedom provides medical detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery center to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
