Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Angel Fire, NM.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Angel Fire provides medically managed detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual 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 detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
