Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Walla Walla offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.
For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
