Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Ford, WA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you can decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ford provides medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the help 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 particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
