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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Winnetka offers medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need particular 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 will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
