Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Chimacum, WA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Chimacum provides medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
