Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Stehekin, WA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Stehekin offers medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
