Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - North Fork, CA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in North Fork provides medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually 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 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
