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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Longview provides medical detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone 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 detox facility to a drug recovery program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
