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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in West Hollywood provides medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal 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 someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment center to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
