Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Kingston, ID.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Kingston provides medical detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually 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 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
