Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - East Irvine, CA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in East Irvine offers medical detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery program to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
