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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Isleta provides medical detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
