Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Harbor City, CA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Harbor City provides medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients 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 drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history 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 rehab facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
