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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Woody Creek provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person 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 detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
