Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Glencoe, CA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Glencoe offers medically managed detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone 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 and/or alcohol recovery program to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
