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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mount Hamilton offers medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical 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. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
