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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Garberville offers medical detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing 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 an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
