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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Deer Trail offers medically managed detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may 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 a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
