Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Richgrove, CA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you could choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Richgrove provides medical detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance 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 an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation center to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
