Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Sierra Madre, CA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Sierra Madre offers medically managed detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
