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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in College Place provides medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
