Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Alamogordo, NM.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Alamogordo provides medical detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay 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 an individual who has a history 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 and/or alcohol rehab center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
