Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Carlsbad, CA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Carlsbad provides medical detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug 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, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
