Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Lewiston, ID.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lewiston offers medical detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction 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 due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
