Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - La Junta, CO.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you could decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in La Junta offers medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days 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 substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
