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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Miramonte offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance 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 a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment program to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
