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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Danville provides medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling 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 treatment program to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
