Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Marcus, WA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Marcus provides medically managed detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
