Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Santa Ysabel, CA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Santa Ysabel provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual 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 given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
