Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Big Horn, WY.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Big Horn offers medical detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
