Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Altonah, UT.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Altonah provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious 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 ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation center to handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
