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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lakebay provides medical detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
