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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Point Arena offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 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, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
