Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Vallecitos, NM.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Vallecitos offers medical detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

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