Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Branson, CO.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Branson provides medically managed detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling 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 treatment center to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
