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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Woody provides medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment center to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
