Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - San Jon, NM.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in San Jon provides medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
