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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Eureka offers medical detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
