Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Center, CO.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Center provides medical detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance 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 a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
