Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Heisson, WA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Heisson provides medically managed detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain 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 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) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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