Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Van Nuys, CA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Van Nuys provides medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
