Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Lockwood, CA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lockwood provides medical detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
