Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Pinos Altos, NM.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pinos Altos provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
