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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Poulsbo provides medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual 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 and/or alcohol treatment program to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
