Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Port Ludlow, WA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Port Ludlow provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
