Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Blakely Island, WA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Blakely Island offers medical detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance 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, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
