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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Kingston offers medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain 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 health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
