Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Burlington, WY.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Burlington offers medical detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual 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 and/or alcohol rehab facility to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
