Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Ritzville, WA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ritzville provides medical detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing 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 help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
