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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Kalama offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation center to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
