Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Fort Duchesne, UT.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you might decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fort Duchesne offers medical detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
