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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Zuni provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically 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 substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling 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 and/or alcohol recovery center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
