Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Mckinleyville, CA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mckinleyville provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual 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 detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
