Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Watkins, CO.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Watkins offers medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized 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 symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
