Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Fillmore, CA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fillmore offers medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment program to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
