Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Victorville, CA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Victorville offers medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
