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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Colfax provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease 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 symptoms of withdrawal 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 health.

For a person 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 and/or alcohol rehab facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
