Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - El Granada, CA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in El Granada provides medical detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may 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, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
