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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you might choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Philo provides medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
