Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Avery, CA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Avery provides medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

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