Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Latah, WA.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Latah offers medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history 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 recovery center to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
