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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you could decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mendocino offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may 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, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
