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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you might make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Tukwila offers medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug 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, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
