Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Tumwater, WA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Tumwater provides medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
