Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Rainier, WA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Rainier offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment program to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
