Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Santa Fe Springs, CA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Santa Fe Springs provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment program to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
