Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Silverton, CO.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Silverton provides medical detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may 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 rehabilitation center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
