Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Richfield, UT.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Richfield provides medical detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation program to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
