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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fresno offers medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
