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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hercules provides medical detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

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