Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Caruthers, CA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Caruthers provides medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically 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 could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
