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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you might make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in San Geronimo provides medical detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients 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 withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
