Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Coleville, CA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Coleville offers medical detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person 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 treatment facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
