Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Shiprock, NM.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Shiprock offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
