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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Covelo provides medically managed detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment center to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
