Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Lincoln, NM.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lincoln provides medically supervised detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

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