Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Panorama City, CA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Panorama City offers medical detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone 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 work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
