Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Travis AFB, CA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Travis AFB offers medically managed detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
