Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Weaverville, CA.

Detoxification is the first part 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 Weaverville provides medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox 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 physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
