Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Tucumcari, NM.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Tucumcari provides medical detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
