Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Elephant Butte, NM.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Elephant Butte provides medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history 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 treatment center to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
