Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Anacortes offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
