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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hood offers medical detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification 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 drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
