Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Lacey, WA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lacey provides medical detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain 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 withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental 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 and/or alcohol treatment center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
