Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Chimayo, NM.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Chimayo offers medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detoxification 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 remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab program to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
