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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in San Marino offers medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual 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 and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
