Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Boulder, CO.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Boulder provides medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
