Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Newkirk, NM.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Newkirk offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
