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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in South Prairie offers medical detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay 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 physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
