Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Carrizozo, NM.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Carrizozo provides medically managed detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
