Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Washoe Valley, NV.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Washoe Valley offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
