Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - North Highlands, CA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you might decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in North Highlands offers medical detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. 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 been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
