Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - La Puente, CA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in La Puente offers medical detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
