Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Wellington, CO.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wellington provides medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
