Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Lincoln, WA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you can decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lincoln offers medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form 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 type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
