Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Tahoe Vista, CA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Tahoe Vista offers medical detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
