Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Bridgeville, CA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bridgeville offers medically managed detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually 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 may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab program to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
