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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you might choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in La Mesa offers medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone 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 utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
