Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Portola, CA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Portola provides medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing 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 recovery center to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
