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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Long Beach provides medical detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall 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 recovery program to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
