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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ukiah provides medical detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug 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 detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
