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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Maple Falls offers medical detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. 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 someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
