Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in San Carlos offers medically managed detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug 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 easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
