Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Douglas Flat, CA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you could decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Douglas Flat provides medically managed detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
