Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Cuervo, NM.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Cuervo offers medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically 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 may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
