Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Mission Viejo, CA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you might decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mission Viejo offers medical detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People 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 substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
