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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ross provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab center to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
