Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Thornton, WA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Thornton offers medical detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
