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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you might choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lemon Cove offers medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
