Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Tahoe City, CA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Tahoe City offers medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized 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 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 a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
