Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Maxwell, NM.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Maxwell provides medically managed detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
