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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you could decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Silverlake provides medical detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery center to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
