Opioid addiction treatment typically involves an inpatient stay at facilities like Mills - Peninsula Medical Center to make sure they get through withdrawal safely.

    One of the first things an addict should do when entering treatment is to abstain from using illicit drugs completely. Depending on the length of time that the person has been using, the addict may have to go through alcohol or drug withdrawal. Fortunately, detox doesn’t have to be done alone, and withdrawal symptoms can be managed medically in an inpatient or outpatient setting. While detox may be uncomfortable, it is not life-threatening. Detoxification allows the addict to rid the body of all traces of drugs or alcohol and gives the addict a clean slate for their recovery.

    Inpatient programs are intensive regimes that require individuals suffering from serious addictions to admit themselves into a controlled environment. Inpatient programs in California generally span over 28 days to six months. The first step in an inpatient program is medically assisted detox. Doctors and addiction specialists at Mills - Peninsula Medical Center monitor the individual’s vital signs as the drugs leave their system. Some inpatient rehab programs also provide counseling for family members to provide encouragement and emotional support. In inpatient programs, patients have access to 24-hour medical supervision.

    Daily trips to the hospital that provides the treatment include intensive outpatient services (IOP). IOP in California is appropriate for patients in residential recovery facilities that have been diagnosed with addiction.

    To assist with alcohol or opioid abuse, or a co-occurring condition, Mills - Peninsula Medical Center offers an outpatient treatment program. For their rehabilitation and other services, the California patient will go to the treatment center, yet return home every night.
