Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Valleyford, WA.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Valleyford offers medical detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
