Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Imperial Beach, CA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Imperial Beach provides medically supervised detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment program to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
