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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in El Cajon provides medical detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may 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 been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
