Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Stoneham, CO.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Stoneham offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
