Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Longmire, WA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Longmire offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox 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 drug 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 an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
