Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Burbank, CA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Burbank provides medically managed detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification 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 substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
