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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ridgefield offers medical detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals 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 withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
