Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Fairfax, CA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fairfax offers medical detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (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 could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person 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 detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
