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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you could decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Woodbridge offers medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually 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 substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
