Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - White Sands Missile Range, NM.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in White Sands Missile Range offers medically managed detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
