Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Hernandez, NM.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Hernandez patients can be closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health complications or even death in more serious cases. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example would need to be watched closely and probably given specific medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in an inpatient detox center would minimize health risks.

There is not an exact practice for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when arriving to detox. An individual who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need intensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who should to go to an actual drug and alcohol rehab facility once detox is complete. Most detox facilities work with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
