Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Dolores, CO.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Dolores offers medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing 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 smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
