Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Watrous, NM.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Watrous provides medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help 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 subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
