Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Novato, CA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Novato offers medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
