Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Westminster, CA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Westminster offers medically managed detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
