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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you might choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Underwood provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. 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 a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
