Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Moab, UT.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Moab offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
