Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Loma Linda, CA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Loma Linda offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
