Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Rio Rancho, NM.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Rio Rancho provides medical detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment program to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
