Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Amistad, NM.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Amistad offers medically managed detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal 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 are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
