Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Washington, MI.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you could choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Washington offers medically supervised detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab program to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
