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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fort Stanton provides medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction 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 program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
