Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Highland, CA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Highland provides medical detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
