Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Crawford, CO.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Crawford provides medical detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling 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 treatment center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
