Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Crossroads, NM.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Crossroads provides medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone 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 rehabilitation program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
