Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Port Costa, CA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Port Costa provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
