Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Thousand Oaks, CA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Thousand Oaks provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone 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 treatment facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
