Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Colorado City, AZ.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Colorado City offers medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms 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 a person 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 and/or alcohol rehab center to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
