Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Green Mountain Falls, CO.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Green Mountain Falls provides medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history 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 treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
