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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ocate provides medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. 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, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
