Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Des Moines, WA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Des Moines offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall 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 detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
