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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Malden offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
