Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - San Patricio, NM.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in San Patricio provides medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
