Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Aurora, CO.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Aurora provides medically managed detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay 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 a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
