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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lancaster offers medically managed detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain 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 may choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history 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 work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
