Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Healdsburg, CA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Healdsburg provides medical detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history 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 rehab center to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
