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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mountlake Terrace provides medical detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what 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 a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
