Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Mescalero, NM.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Mescalero clients can be closely checked for withdrawal symptoms that may cause health complications or even death in more severe cases. a person suffering with alcoholism for example may need to be observed closely and possibly given certain prescription medications that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detox facility can minimize health risks.

There is not an exact process for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another person may need to have comprehensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to treatment for clients who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehab center once detoxification is finished. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is only the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for recovering addicts.
