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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lucerne provides medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug 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 and/or alcohol recovery center to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
