Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Palm Desert, CA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Palm Desert provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug 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 smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
