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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Northport provides medical detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment center to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
