Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Livermore, CA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Livermore provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
