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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Cripple Creek provides medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay 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 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 detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
