Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Hernandez, NM.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hernandez offers medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may 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 a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
