Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Olalla, WA.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Olalla offers medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
