Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Port Gamble, WA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Port Gamble provides medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab program to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
