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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pacific Grove offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history 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 work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
