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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you might make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in North Hills offers medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
