Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Benicia, CA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Benicia provides medically managed detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history 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 rehab facility to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
