Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Occidental, CA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Occidental offers medical detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab program to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
