Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - University Place, WA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in University Place offers medically managed detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain 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 health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
