Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Tatum, NM.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Tatum provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
