Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Point Roberts, WA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Point Roberts offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall 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 rehabilitation program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
