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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Boulder offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
