Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Boulder City, NV.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Boulder City offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing 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 discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
