Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Scotts Valley, CA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Scotts Valley offers medical detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. 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, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
