Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Westlake Village, CA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Westlake Village provides medically managed detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation program to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
