Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Colton, WA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Colton provides medically managed detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
