Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Redwood City, CA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Redwood City offers medical detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (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 type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
