Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Clipper Mills, CA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Clipper Mills offers medical detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab program to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
